[Sane-analysis] Abstraction Submission for Santa Fe

[Jonathan Mulholland]

James Maxwell and Jonathan Mulholland are interested in giving contributed
talks at the DNP APS meeting in Santa Fe. The deadline is tomorrow. Please
review this and submit comments. The abstracts follow:

Thank you for your attention,

Maxwell:
The Spin Asymetries of the Nucleon Experiment (SANE) is a measurement of
parallel and near-perpendicular double spin asymmetries in an inclusive
electron scattering experiment, with the aim of calculating the spin
asymmetry of the proton $A^1_p$ and structure function $g^2_p$. Using Thomas
Jefferson National Accelerator Facility's polarized electron beam and the
University of Virginia's polarized frozen ammonia ($^{14}$NH$_3$) target in
Hall C, the experiment ran in 2009, collecting data in a Q$^2$ region from
2.5 to 6.5 GeV$^2$ in a Bjorken $x$ region of 0.3 to 0.8. Particle detection
was accomplished using the Big Electron Telescope Array (BETA), a novel
non-magnetic detector array with a 194 msr acceptance.
This talk will address the progress of the analysis toward the calculation
of the proton spin asymmetry and structure functions, including calibration
of the BETA detectors, event selection, and preliminary results.

Mulholland:
The Spin Asymetries of the Nucleon Experiment (SANE) is an inclusive
measurement of the parallel and near-perpendicular double spin asymmetries
of the proton that provides access to the spin observable, A1p and structure
functions, g1p and g2p. The experiment ran in early 2009, using Thomas
Jefferson National Laboratory's polarized electron beam and the University
of Virginia's polarized frozen ammonia target in Hall C, collecting data in
a Q^2 region from 2.5 to 6.5 GeV^2 and a Bjorken x region of 0.3 to 0.8.
Particle detection was accomplished using the Big Electron Telescope Array
(BETA), a novel non-magnetic detector array with a 194 msr acceptance.
The experimental motivations and goals will be discussed in the context of
current world data of the proton spin structure functions. Th experimental
methods will also be presented along with an overview of the analysis status
and results. Current collaboration analysis effort is focused primarily on
the proton spin structure functions g1 and g2, but also includes a
calculation of the proton form factor ratio, GE/GM.
